MINERS MEET.
A Belief That the Contemplated Strike
Will Not Occur.

A Belief That the Contemplated Strike
Will Not Occur.
PoTTsvILLE, PA, May 1.-The appointed
meeting of the joint committee Of the
Miners Amalgamated Association and the
Knights of Labor was held at Mohoney City
to-day to make a report and consider the
replies of the coal companies to demand
for 10 per cent. advance. The whole re-
gion was represented. The meeting was
held with closed doors and occupied nearly
the entire day. Although the members Of
the committee were reticent after the ad-
journment, it is generally understood that
the advance demanded had been refused.
What action was decided upon has not
transpired beyond the fact that an address
to the public will be issued tomorrow. The
impression is that the address will merely
set forth the justice of the demands and that
no strike will be ordered. The prevailing
sentiment of the miners is opposed to a
strike. Three large collieries of the Phila-
delphia and Reading Coal and Iron Com
pany at Schylkill, Boston Run and Elm
wood shut down to-day. These collieries
are all in the vicinity of Mahoney City,
where the Miners 'Amalgamated and Knights
of Labor joint committee met. The officers
say that the shut down was for the purpose
of making repairs. 1t is expected they will
resume in about two weeks.

Silver Certificates

WASHINGTON, May 11.-Ever since the
Treasury Department began the issue of
small silver certificates there has been q
gradual return to the Treasury Of standard
silver dollars previously in circulation. The
demand for these certificates has been so
great of late, however, that the supply has
become nearly exhausted. The effect Of this
has been to slightly increase the circulation
of silver dollars during the past few days
The increase is merely temporary, however,
and silver will be returned to the Treasury
in large amounts as soon as the additional
supply of small certificates now being
printed is ready for use
